I am planning to take Anatomy and Physiology this summer. I did most of my education in India and we have a different course requirements.Can anyone suggest me a school or a college that has reasoable Pre-requisites. I have completed the Following courses in the past 6 years -Organic Chemistry, General ChemistryMedical Microbiology, Genetic Engineering, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Physiology, Virology, Botany and Zoology, Fermentation Technology, English and many other Molecular Biology Courses.http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/pdf/APLIST.PDFThis website i was looking for accelerated BSN programs.I am willing to take Anatomy and Physiology and Nursing related courses. There are many courses that are irrelevant to Nursing Program like Sociology, Philiso/Religion, Human Growth & Devel, Nutrition, English Literature and i found some universities asking for strange COurses requirements not required for any Nursing Program.After Completing 17 years inclusing MS in Microbiology and 2 years of Hospital Experience, DO I STILL NEED TO DO THIS COURSES FOR ADMISSION.CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANY REASOABLE UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGES WHERE I CAN apply for Fall Semester. Your advise is deeply appreciated.ThanksAnuPls eMail me at anu789@gmail.com

Out of curiousity.... how are these courses irrelevant to nursing?This page lists quite a few (but not all) ABSN programs:http://www.allnursingschools.com/featured/accelerated-bsn.phpSome programs also require classes like pathophysiology and pharmacology... but it really depends on the program..Good luck!
